CIA MOTHER SEES DAUGHTER. U< c; Mrs. IVndleton Visits Daughter in d Spartanburg Jail?Rotli Hurst j u Into Tears. iT ? . !' A'ews and Courier. j s Spartanburg. Aiareh 14.?For tlu> f< firsi time 111 a year .Mrs. J. H. Pendle- r ton, f Durham, X. C\. yesterday met; \ h?r li?-year-lcd daughter, Miss Fleda b Pendleton. ' The meeting was in the > county jail, where the young woman. ( a telegrapher, is being held, with Clyde Caldwell Clemen:, a student, while t.iey await trial for the alleged m-ur- -y der of a two-months-old baby girl, r tou.:d January :',l in a mill pond and al.eged to have been drowned by <_. them. ; t] Motl.er and daughter mingled their i c tears fo.* several minutes ueiore uiuu- ; i er spoke. Mrs. Pendleton was the first ! iw- regain lier composure. A deeply ; t religious woman, she asked God's con- j j solation tor the unhappy girl. ! i Asks About Her Family. Miss Pendleton inquired about her 1'ataer and b: others and sisters. She d showed grear solicitation for .her fath- t er, who is parJy blind and broken t in health. She anxiously inquired how r he was standing the strain. t Mrs. Pendleton said she would have r visited the daughter sooner but for!L the fact that she had been prostrated ( when she was informed, February 3, c that Fleda, of whom she had had no ! irace since las: August, was in jail 11 ,?n a murder charge. 1 After leaving the jail Mrs. Pendleton served warning that she would endea- J *vor to call to account lawyers or oth- j ? ers who might attack Fleda's g?nor*l ^r reputation for truth or virtue. This 1 was in anticipation of an attempt by 1 Clement's counsel to impeach the girl's 1 scatement that Clement was the father c of the drowned baby, and that it was t lie who conceived the plot to destroy 1 the child and he who actually threw 1 V the baby i.:to the water. Says Daughter is Truthful. ^ "I defy any lawyers to present anv. r thing detrimental to my daughter, said Mrs. Pendleion. "If the people doubt my sincerity I will show them ;' by prosecuting any one who speaks a!^ "word of ill against her. They may t search where they may for evidence * against her, but tneir efforts will be ifi j vain, for T know my daughter to be ; ^ truthful and honest. She was led into j this thi;:g agains: he~ consent. "I would have given my consent to the marriage of Fleda to Clement?! t anything in the world'Vo have saved 1 if a nf tl\a* innnr-pnt hahv I knpw i Clement when the children were young i . and I always tn ught hi, was inclined 1 . j to be wild. He has a dear, sweet. ^ Christian mother. ? i r "'I bear no malice against Clement. t c 1 nave no desire to see nim sent to . 1 the electric chair. 'Vengeance is mine, I I 13 saith the I>ord. j Brother to Attend Trial. ! r "I left Mr. Pendleron at home with 1 ^ my four daughters. He is an invalid ^ and I fear his mind is leaving him.;. II He has visions. My son Charles, who ; ! c -tfas reecntly married and is an orange grower ij Florida, will come to Spar- : ianburg before the trial. Our re- i ^ sources a:*e limited, but we will place . it them all at the disposal of Fleda.' I IMrs. Pendleton went to the morgue j j this morning to see the body of her; . 11 little drowned granddaughter. She i was deeply affected. jS The mother has barely recovered 1 * irom the i-lness caused bv the news : t of the tragedy.

I u "Washington, March 14.?Gen. Car-jf ranza has consented to 'have Ameri-! h can consuls look after interests of n foreigners in constitutionalist terri- ii tory where their own governments t have no consular representatives. j n Where there are sucn representa-; d Hives he suggests that, even where I s their governments have recognized ! i< Huerta, these consuls can unofficially i communicate with him without in- j volving their governments. Also lie ' C suggests his willingness to listen and j u lieeQ any applications made to him! a directly by the friends and relatives j h of foreigners whose lives or property 11 may be threatened and investigate j fi every case and to punish any of Ihis followers who may be culpable. t. This is the substance of a t Je- lJ graphic report made to Secretary Bryan today by American Consul t! Simpich. 1< The declaration of Gen. Carranza j c was transmitted 'promptly to the ra- j n rious powers today by diplomatic rep-! P resentatives in Washington. IC Embassy and legation officials com- c mented on the Carranza note only t; in general terms. One fact is accept- n d. however, that the United States j an no: continue to act for them in i I etia-ce of Carranza's refusal io lis- ] ?n to representations 011 the old basis, j hey feel uat there is no warrant of iw for allowing United Staes conis Is to accept credentials also from ' oreign governments, as seems to be ! - ^In- ai-an it* t'lD t?l{UUt U U? V (iiiaiitiU II 1.11, arlous government were willing to estow such powers. The text of Gen. Carranza's reply to 'onsul Simpicn was as follows: (iirranza's lieply. "As you know, the department at Washington has communicaied with ne through vourself and the Amen an consul at He'.mosillo to make two lasses of representations io me, both i notficial, the concerning Ameri- j an citizens, the other non-American 1 oreigners. I "As you are aware, 1 have enter-1 ained tae representations Secretary1 iryan thought fit to make when na- ! ionals of wis country were concerned, ' he said representations, however, be-: i ng used by me as information to re-: Iress and avoid the wrongs to which ! hey relate. in' his letter to you about i lie injuries suffered at the Desenganoj nine at Guanajevi, Secretary Bryanells you that countries which have \ ecognized the Huerta government can j lot apply to me, since every nation j an have but one diplomatic corps acredited to one other and consequent y those countria; ?liich have recoglized Huerta can no: make represenations to me. "This is clearly my understanding .nd I have never claimed taat those ;o\ernments accredit diplomatic repesentatives to me. But these same lations may very well, under internaic^al law .and diplomatic usage, have | inofficial intercourse with me in my apacity of commander-in-chief of he constitutionalist army which domnates a large part of the nation. This inofficial manner may bp availed of iv the aforesaid countries through heir representatives accredited in Vashington or through their consuls esidir.g in the Mexican territory conrolled by the fo: ces under my comnand. and if there should be no forign consuls in the territory controlled iy the constitutionalist forces, as >ointed cut by Secretary Bryan in :onnection with the Desengano mine :as? then the: government concerned nay very well authorize other per;oas who may well be the consuls of j he United States to present their un>fricial representations in :he name of hose governments, the power being ;roperly drawn up. Can't See Objections. as i truiy uo not see wnai uu* ec:ion foreign nations can have to ha: method of communicating with | ne, all tJe represenrations 1 have re- j reived or may receive .hereafter dealng with non-American foreigners do md will serve" the sole purpose of >ringing to my notice, if net already | eported by the Mexican authorities, j he fact that this or that foreigner j ias suffered some injury and of my j ssuing appropriate orders that all inlividual guarantees be extended to oreigners, punishment, when occa;ion arises, being inflicted on the re- j in/^nei'hlo narti^c vvhn in vinljitinn rvf he law and disregard of theirs duty md my orders, should ever so slighty molest foreigners, nor would there >e a::y need of waiting for any representations, for it is one of my pur)oses that justice and the law shall >e respected to the utmost in my counry. "Deeming this a suitable opportu- - liry, I wish to say further to you that _ f the foreigners or their relatives will w j ddress their personal representations* be o ine and- bespeak my protection of T] heir lives and interests, they will be or immediately attended to without any or ieed of their government officially or mofficiallv intervening.'' Gen. Carranza has cut himself off rom communication by starting on th orseback with his staff across the nountains of Chihuahua for the cap- lo tal of the State. It will be nearly iQ' wo weeks before he reaches his desti- nc ;ation, and it is assumed at the state t;( epariment that no change in the tatus of foreigners in northern Mex- ^l 20 is likely in #ie immediate future.

W( larranza's declaration marks a change J el; a his first uncompromising attitude in nd that when he reaches Chihuahua to e will be ready to concede to the Ai "nited States the right to look after te Dreign interests in the country con- th rolled by constitutionalists without su tie limitations imposed intoday's dec- tic iration of policy. te: iFor the next fortnight, at least, tie old practice probably will be folded, and the state department will ontinue to protest against maltreat- j Ac lent of foreigners or injury to their roperties; "while on the other .hands iarranza or ihis agents without accepting these protests or representaions as official., will Dote them as S!latters of information on which cases sis i at You will Young Men O J.C JJ /" ' ozem v?7 ^u. morrow and store this we< range of prices from with stripes, fancy a men and young men Boys' V 100 new Norfolk the $7.00 quality, ag extra quality. 100 new Norfolk $6.50.
